[scikit-learn] Announcing scikit-learn at Inria foundation

[Gael Varoquaux]

Hi scikit-learn community,

I am very happy to announce a foundation to support scikit-learn at
Inria:
https://scikit-learn.fondation-inria.fr

In practice, this gives us a legal vessel to receive money from private
entities, and not only research money. This money will provide a stable
job to some people working on scikit-learn here, at Inria, and allow us
to grow the team and target more ambitious features as well as better
quality and hopefully more frequent releases.

I have written a blog post about the motivations and the vision behind
this new development:

Thank you all for being part of the scikit-learn adventure. I am very
excited about the new prospects that this is bringing us,

Gaël
